ride the lightning

[Swift016]

Can anyone tell me what I meant by my comment? It's the one at the top. I don't even remember posting it haha.

[thrashinallaround356]

Check out my Cover!

[mitchbowes2010]

people if you play guitar and want to get the ride the lightning tone its

gain-7

treble-10

middle-1

bass-6

(P.S for the brainless idiots you must have distortion in your amp or a distortion pedal)

[metalfrommaine]

this guy gives bad ass lessons and this video is old his newer shit is spot on

[RushIsMyLifeFool]

@ForcedChaos that makes no sense slayer is standard and pantera is Eb not a whole step down. RTL is E standard

[metalfrommaine]

@RushIsMyLifeFool technically your write rtl was written in standard tuning but they play it live a half step down.slayer i couldn't tell you,most of pantera particularly pantera with dime as lead is played a half step down and in alot of cases drop d.

[Marcosone1]

you got nice covers and lessons dude.. but your camer is shit

[RicobloodGio]

why Capo?

[415System]

2:38 is so fucking heavy YEAH best prelude in my opinion makes you wanna head bang thumbs if it does

[slash13242]

come on dude why dont u ever do solos ur so good to

[totenvarg]

Good played but you should to do the solo

[kaelaj97]

Doesn't sound quite right....

[xboxandpcuser]

I'd love to hear you trying to sing to this.Maybe it will sound very good or it will sound horrible.Who knows?

[wilkimon]

he uses a capo

how dose it effect his cord structure

[ObsoleteGuitar]

@wilkimon he probably used the capo because the guitar was in a drop tuning and he was too lazy to tune it back up to standard e

[ForcedChaos]

@wilkimon i follow this dude i play like him except my picking and chord teks he plays alot of slayer and pantera so its downtuned

[MuayThai8548]

haha cant get over how you hold your pick its funny but it works for you jsut never seen that how are your pinch harmonics?

[Uchihaman1234]

hey man I learned a lot form yr tutorial vids, nice work on this 2

[zachisthebest1]

nice. a little low and off key in the beginning riffs but other than that............AWESOME!!!

[Solarzuka]

<3 the stash

[illusionist3791]

what amp/effects are u using? good sound!

[JediStamos]

Man u covered the whole song and I was dissapointed cuz u didnt play the solo. Well the solo is Fuckin' insane anyway but it would be cool if u could play it =D

[ItsDeaThly]

@JediStamos i think he is a rythim guy

[bloodydragon556]

does the wrd spider chord mean a power chord

[MuayThai8548]

@bloodydragon556 search for dave mustaine spider chord youll see what it means

[WXxXE3XxXW]

dude i want that shirt

[imyourmamma]

You should really use spider-chords when playing this song. That was how it was intended to be played

[TheDragonHealth]

!,,! you rock !,,!

[lankles]

great stuff

[jimmyshitbags]

yeah he played the intro right but its only one guitar part so it sounds wrong. metallica seem to make it sound wrong when they play it live too.

[Eighttroy19]

Thats james' part

[TwiGGSTicK]

enough about the intro

2:05, I'm sure this is wrong:P

because it's a Spider Chord search for it on youtube, it makes it sound more badass,

great playing, but a capo???? : /

[pgilchrist1978]

The intro is correct. He played one part of the intro as there are TWO guitars playing TWO different parts with Cliff hitting the E's.

[Thr4sh4lot]

lol hahaha

[sl4yerfre4k666]

im talking about the whole guitar is tuned in d not just the E string

[sl4yerfre4k666]

hes tuned in drop d, hes using the capo on the second fret so he doesnt have to tune it back to standard

[leffjoomis13]

not drop d, it's standard d. just look at how he plays the power chords on the low "e".

[MattYify]

that is so fake i saw u on the computer

[GimmeDatSheep]

im pretty sure it's called back tracking, mister yiffy

[obliviondude666]

ok that was bad ass and for everybody who is well ill say special there are to guitars in this song

[NoGuitarsOrAmps]

its called a k bar dumbass

[metalistas1993]

Whats that shit on your 2nd fret?

[Videomakerpro]

Its called a Capo. it is used to replicate a Finger across all the strings at any placed fre. Much like a Barre Chord but you can move your fingers freely

[metalistas1993]

I know,but why does he put that shit there? When he could tune his guitar 2 steps up.

[Videomakerpro]

and risk breaking the strings because there tuned too high?

[metalistas1993]

Then his tuning must be not E.

[Videomakerpro]

does it really matter?

[metalistas1993]

Actually no,but its kinda harder to play 2 frets higher. Atleast on electroacoustic guitar.

[maddmas]

it looks like hes in drop C and capoed the second fret to put it in E tuning. but im not sure.

[MGreenway6669]

Why is this different then your lesson? This your cover?

[theriddick1]

he uses a pick lol its the fact that he's ONE man not a whole band

[drtwss]

capo?

[tokinace]

It's official, you're a dipshit.

[LtRic0]

there is no way kirk can play all his stuff without a pick.

[Wolfenstahl]

the sound is a killer

[Swift016]

LOLWUT

Playing metal without a pick? Maybe a bass.

[fbomb336]

i can do that too. You have to get calluses in your fingers

[robbyo1201]

@Swift016 ABD A CAPO!!!!

[Leedlelee123321]

that was the good man the bigging was WAY off

[baloons4satanists]

Its not way off... There are 2 guitars in the intro on the original.. He is just playing one of the guitar stupid

[jkusisto]

theres two guitars in the beginning....

[darkunknown97]

yes there is XD

[darkunknown97]

its not a fail cause James and Kirk both play this intro

[iets1243]

Ehm no... Its harmonised..

[oneshotkill27]

you are seriously saying that... theres 2 guitars...

[MasterOfDeathPuppets]

wooow fail

[logili93]

it's wrong man...

[wartime15]

he must be in drop D cause of the capo on the second fret.

[maneulll]

amazing

[gamelord137]

I agree with DEFINEMETAL, i think the start is on the wrong scale.

[bongowongowongo]

he has a capo on

[FPROCK84]

0.23 i mean...it seems wrong...but i'm not judging him..he's very good(sorry for the speaking...i'm not english)

stay metal!

[FPROCK84]

not right at the intro...the start of the rhytm part...but u don't have to be so offensive...

[Dexo5]

u dumbshits the intro is right hes playing kirks part

[FPROCK84]

complitely wrong...the intro i mean...

[linuslundin17]

two guitars playing at the same time in the intro, ROFL

[legewright]

LMAO you play it SO wrong it hurts me.

[DIMEburtonRHOADS]

looks preety perfect to me whats so wrong with it? he has a capo on so its tuned down but its right lol. douce bag quit playing guitar hero and play a real guitar

[SCOEN]

wow ur an idiot

u dont always have to play a song the way it is originally made

make it ur own thats the way he did and sounds fine to me

[DEFINEMETAL]

what?

he only got the start wrong,

the rest was fine

[steermaster]

he played kirks part. kirk and james harmonize that part

[jian2069]

the start was right, it was the harmony part though

if you listen to metallica play this live you can hear it very clearly

[DEFINEMETAL]

actually, i saw metallica live last week,

and it didnt sound anything like that

the start was wrong

[jian2069]

it seems that you are a complete idiot,

the intro is spot on and if you cant hear that then you probably shouldnt even be LISTENING to music

[DEFINEMETAL]

1. i have been playing guitar for 18 years

2. I have been listening to heavy metal for 20 years

so dont think i dont know anything about music.

I am able to decipher and appriciate music,

and i can say, without any hesitation,

that this does not sound how it should be,

He may be playing the correct frets,

but his guitar maybe out of tune.

[gibsonrock53]

In the song there are two guitars so it sounds different when you only here one guitar by itself.

[jian2069]

do i need to make an entire fucking video to explain this song? it is correct

you dont really hear the part on the studio version

[DEFINEMETAL]

omfg

right, i dont care anymore. just stop please im tired of this fucking arguement.

[brendenandcameron]

ur a fukin idiot two guitars play that part he played one perfectly get a life

[DEFINEMETAL]

i know,

but i play this on my guitar and it sounds nothing like this.

get a life?

a meaningless insult

[Jesusmasterninja]

agreed man

[bongowongowongo]

he has a capo on second fret

[crackheadedV]

is that a ibanez

[Rockerr25]

dumb question but i kinda just sarted playing guitar... what is a capo?

[Ryan181Guitarhero]

its the clamp that holds down all the strings on a fret.

[Kubosek12345]

:D wow

[GmetalMassacre]

good!

[SregorNadroj]

To the people saying it is wrong: The guitar parts on this song are harmonized, one is higher, one is lower. It makes the song sound better when you have two guitars at different levels. Go listen to Master and you'll hear the harmonization in it.

[juggalo303]

im guessen shitpicklestain don no how to play so he has to talk shit to some w1 who does

[ottyotta]

shitpicklestain go and suck some balls, doesn't fucking matter what notes they are, it does sound right and he plays the song well!

Nice done man! Keep it up!

and shitpicklestain can go and fuck his mother!

[chapapwnszombies]

hes not playing lead

[ferociouspokemachine]

you fail

[gibsonguitarist2006]

Wow, you must really be an idiot.

[nikp97]

Shitpicklestain what kind of username is that u suck

[heavymetsk8er999]

he's using the capo cuz his guitar is apparently in D tuning and he doesnt want 2 change the tuning or he has a floyd rose, i cant really tell cuz of the quality, but its hard 2 change the tuning a full step with a floyd

[GuitaristZach6]

i think ur right its a floyd rose

[zeroskater716]

its not a floyd rose

[XxhardcoregamerxX]

Floyd Rose bridges are a pain in the arse D:!!!!

[GuitaristZach6]

oh yeah man they are

[jackofwack]

yeah they are but there wroth it when they work

[heavymetsk8er999]

ur doin the intro wrong...

[MerlinBunny1]

He's Just Doing The Other Guitar

[thestatement31]

yeah.. its a two part intro

[bastardofmine]

great job

[MICKYBOIO]

shit intro man...and the resthaha

[jfd92]

a capo? that's not what metallica does

[chuy611]

lol... I bet you don't even know why he's using it.

[juanyboya]

that was sick!!!, that guitar looks awesome!!

[algor123]

solo?

[Stingyringg]

he was playing the rythym, thats why he did a different intro

[sdgtime]

the intro who he is playing is the part of james hetfield

[Stingyringg]

which is rythym...

[seko5]

You can find tabs here : Ultimate-guitar dot c om

[wreckwrap]

are you a fan's metallica?

[bubblez172737]

whoops didn't see the coment that already said the same thing

[headbanger2216]

he isnt playing you dont need a capo and there is no way he can get that sound with that guitar

[bubblez172737]

the reason for the capo is because he prob keeps his guitar down tuned so for that song he has to use a capo.

[dheiser9]

You can see the strings moveing dipshit.Hee-haw.

[TRIVIUMDAVEX]

It's probably downtuned hence the capo, and no solo due to not enough frets with a capo? Not sure, I can't personally play the song.

[sentry48]

umm wheres the solo

[LP2LP2]

fuck !! BULLSHIT !

[JaviVS]

man where the fuck did u get the tabs??

[MetalSwitch95]

that beard! how old os this guy, cause he looks and sounds like a 14 year old.

[headbanger2216]

how can he be 14 hes got a fuckin beard

[TJtheEggman]

he means the way he plays, obviously

[kurtf07]

you played the opening wong...tone deaf??

otherwise, very good dude :)

[Sk83flip]

Thats the second guitar part probably

[kliomole]

or maybe his own different version.

[Sk83flip]

maybe

[TheFreedBird]

You get three stars for not tapping the first solo.

[stanggt89]

TONE DEAF KEEP YOUR DAY JOB

[slayer123df]

damn dood ur fukin good

[Freezyman6]

NICE FUCKING SHIRT

[vaderman27]

M169, how are you holding the pick? Looks really strange! Aparrently works really well for you.

[juggalo303]

yea 4 real every 1 is all about lead parts u ask me LEAD GETS OLD rythem is what its all about i mean lead is cool in all but with out rythem wat wood music be?? other then lryics and such this dude (m169marroquin) is one damn of a good player and hes helped me out so on

[NameNotAlreadyTaken]

Excellently done.

[chris3235]

God...The intro is a harmony...if your a dumbfuck that means 2 people playing different tunes to make one tune.

he played hetfields part of the intro

go watch metallica play it and you will see

[iownallpants]

does it matter dude??

[8u77355]

ok to all the freeking morons who think he is playing it wrong shut the fuck up! he is playing the rhythm part to the intro, because in case u havent realized already there are TWO patrs to the intro...plus what he is playing is completely in tune just a lower key...GREAT JOB DUDE!!

[Creepingdeath047]

ill second that!

[areslenon52]

dude i thought you were like 15 but you have a beard my god

[jian2069]

hes older than 15 but lots of 15 year olds have beards.

[BoboVicus]

like me! =D

[fmoleiro]

Go exercise your ears, guitar professionals (lol). The guy played the second guitar at the intro

[ilovewaffles2345]

GOOD JOB MAN KEEP THEM COMIN

[MxAxGxMxA]

the intro sounded completely off. now i'm a drummer, so I don't know that much about guitar, but I do know when someone is playing something completely wrong. sorry.

[areslenon52]

see it's not as bad as when you said that it was wong but when vliberal say's it he's being a guy who has a metal dildo with spikes on it up his ass. if you saw his tutorial on how to play ride the lighning you would know that there are two guitar parts at the begining

[moodyhamoudi]

its a harmony, he played james hetfields part.

[vliberal]

jezzzz, i have to pause after 15 seconds...

thats so AWFULL my ears star bleeding. you are completely in the wrong tune, please dont insult metallica again.

\m/

[TrippleH10time]

dude you dont have to bee so harsh. it DEFENETLY wasnt metallica but still bro, you dont have to be like that. i mean it wasnt so bad... but it wasnt metallica.

[daltontucker]

i feel like a retard for asking cuz i could probably find it in another video but what guitar is that????

[tangledwithchains]

sounds totally different but another song.ur good though but off.

[slaughterman55]

in the intro u messed up but other wise ur good nice

[malman1080]

Thats actually kirks part. The intro is a harmony with james playing the part you're thinking of.

[slaughterman55]

k thx 4 letting me know that

[TheIrishMugFug]

no he's right

[Belldawg1992]

i didnt know there was pinch harmonics in this song, but it sounds awesome your way good job

[stupid173]

y do u have a kapo on? lol its not spose 2 have one but u played it good tho

[yourkindofjoe]

He probably has it tuned lower and was too lazy to tune it standard just for the video. It does getting irritating tuning back and forth just to play certain songs.

[jdarta1092]

just the intro is shit the others riffs are ok

[oklebolle]

omg , the intro part is played with two guitars.. this is one of the parts! think u know everything about music , stfu bitch

[jdarta1092]

Keep silent about you son of a bitch. Already I know that the intro is with 2 guitars, but though it is bad. None of the guitars touches it. Ok if I do not know a lot of music is not your problem, but so at least I know that the inro is not like that not as you.

[yourkindofjoe]

You're an idiot oklebolle. Of course this is ONE of the parts,but there is a way of playing both. Regardless, it still sounds like shit. I agree, but for the most part, the rest was done well. Another thing, considering if jdarta1092 and myself think the intro is shit, doesn't mean we know nothing bout music. I know plenty, so you shut the fuck up before you open your stupid mouth.

[yoyoyowasup]

lol GREAT 5/5 lol go adution for a band or somethig lol

[MetallicThor]

he probably is in one.

[IronMaidenIM2]

He is in one, it is called Divinity, look at the rest of his vids to check them out.

[demyx0067]

THAT WAS AWESOME, DUDE!

But where did u get those drum sounds? I've been looking for something like that for a long time. Did u make em urself with the computer, or did u download em from a website?

[Kevin895]

I think it was great, but i love the solo :( nice job on the rest

[Ghotifisch]

For all people who thought the intro sucked:

It's guitar harmony it's played with 2 or more guitars that's the definition of a guitar harmony you jerks

You guys don't know shit about music

[triviumjake711]

obv the intro is hamronised u idiot!
